The dream of a lonely hero

Yan Feng said: "Yan Feng invited the two seniors to a banquet not only for personal reasons, but also for public reasons. Can your military patrol department lock up Longshan and arrest Zhang Guofa? Didn't Yan Feng say that your fifth uncle, the ten evil young men in Xijing, had lost all conscience and committed all kinds of evil in Xijing? As an envoy of the court to arrest them, how could you turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear?" This sentence touched Miao Yanjun's sore spot, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Yan Feng said: "Although Yan Feng is unworthy, I was young and ignorant and did some wrong things. I am heartbroken, but you should give me a chance to change my mind, right? As the saying goes: A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. The ten evil young men in Xijing are not to be feared by the petty officials of the eighth and ninth ranks, even the senior officials of Xijing and the officials of the court have to give him some respect. Who disciplined those evil young men? It was me, it was me, Yan Feng! Everyone is afraid of offending the evil young men and incurring the disaster of death. Everyone has a head, how can I, Yan Feng, be an exception? Everyone is afraid of losing their head, but I - I, Yan Feng, am not afraid! Isn't this called cutting off evil and doing justice!" He said confidently.

Miao Yanjun was half-believing and half-doubting. Liu Qiniang was slightly moved and said: "Let's not talk about private matters, just talk about official business, let's go!"

Although Miao Yanjun was ashamed of Yan Feng, he was still consistent in arresting the evil young man Zhang Guo, and then nodded.

The three of them went up to Kuixing Tower and exchanged a few words during the banquet. Yan Feng said, "Uncle Wu is a hero who helps the weak and fights against the strong. Heroes are also human beings. People always have to continue their family line, marry and have children. Although you are in the government, you can't avoid the days of licking blood on the edge of a knife. I'm afraid that you will be dragged down by your family after an accident, so that you are still unmarried after you are over 30 years old. The friendship between you and Seventh Aunt is not a matter of one or two years. How long do you want Seventh Aunt to wait? Feng'er knows that you are afraid of dragging down Seventh Aunt and hurting her, but you have been hurting her all the time."

Liu Qiniang turned her head and wiped away her tears secretly. Yan Feng's words made Miao Yanjun feel deeply guilty. He was silent for a long time and said, "I know how to deal with my own affairs. It's not your turn to point fingers and criticize me." There was another silence. "Commander Yan, I have said before that we should only talk about official business."

Yan Feng said, "Okay! Isn't it just locking up the Longshan Changshou Temple to capture Zhang Guofa? Your military patrol department doesn't dare to do it, so I, Yan Feng, will do it." He left a silver ingot of ten taels and said, "The extra silver is Yan Feng's wedding gift to you."

Liu Qiniang felt a surge of heat in her heart. She looked at his passing back and said, "Yan Feng was fearless. He killed all the nine evil young men in Xijing. Who gave him the courage? Maybe he really turned over a new leaf."

Miao Yanjun disagreed and said, "Yan Feng is cunning and tactful, unlike Yan Yun, who is simple and honest. Killing the nine evil young men was at best fighting violence with violence and evil with evil."

Liu Qiniang said, "Fighting violence with violence and evil with evil, but the result is very The evil young man has been eliminated, and Xijing is more peaceful than before. It can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. ”

Miao Yanjun looked sad and ashamed, saying: "Shame! As an envoy of the court, I am helpless against the ten evil young men who have committed so many crimes."

Liu Qiniang said: "It's all tied up by this official uniform. Without the order of the Xijing prefect, what can the fifth brother do! Fifth brother, why don't you and I resign from office and live in seclusion in the rivers and lakes, draw our swords to help those who are injustice, and take revenge. How refreshing it is. "

Miao Yanjun said: "Seventh sister, think about it, before we surrendered, we stood up for the weak and fought for justice, and we did things that were in the name of justice. In the end, we were hunted down by our enemies and arrested by the government. It was like we had done something that was a great crime that harmed the country and the people. We fled east and west like rats crossing the street. We were still tied up in fighting against violence and protecting the good."

Liu Qiniang said: "After Fifth Brother surrendered, he followed the rules of the government and was also tied up. It is better to live in seclusion and avoid the world."

Miao Yanjun said: "Although I dare not say that I take the world as my responsibility, I will not stand alone and only care about my own happiness if I allow local thugs, bullies, corrupt officials and corrupt officials to oppress the good people."

Liu Qiniang said: "What a limitation of fighting violence and protecting the good according to the rules of the government!"

Miao Yanjun said helplessly: "It can only be done this way."

Liu Qiniang thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the rules of the government will change you."

Miao Yanjun smiled confidently, "Becoming a corrupt official who oppresses the people and levies heavy taxes? Do you believe it?"

Liu Qiniang said, "Scholars are very smart." It's a pun, "Xijing is so big, you must have a favorite girl in your heart, it's time to consider continuing the incense for your Miao family."

Miao Yanjun looked at the silver coins left by Yan Feng on the table and said, "After paying for the wine and food, it will be Yan Feng's wedding gift to us. He is really generous! If the seventh sister Don't dislike Miao, we will get married after the case is settled. "

Liu Qiniang's cheeks flushed, and she changed the subject, "Yan Feng is cunning but well versed in human relationships and etiquette."

Yan Feng left Kuixing Tower and headed straight for the Commanding General's Office. Suddenly, someone behind him called him, "'Yan Qingtian', you are so arrogant!" He turned around and looked for a moment and recognized that this person was Wang Xian, the deputy head of the fifth battalion of the sixth battalion of the Jinzhou Xiangjun Commanding General's Office, who was once his superior. He was wearing bright clothes and jade belts. Yan Feng suddenly felt cold all over and his legs were weak.

Wang Xian said: "'Yan Qingtian', do you remember my old friend Wang Xian?"

Yan Feng suppressed his fear and bowed with his fists: "Wang - Wang Dutou, Yan Feng is polite!"

Wang Xian said: "I don't deserve the title of 'Yan Qingtian'! Wang Xian invites you to drink, will you honor me?"

Yan Feng said: "It's still Yan Feng who invites Wang Dutou." As he said that, the two of them went into a nearby restaurant and picked a good pavilion (private room) to sit down. They ordered a table of food and chatted while eating.

Why did Yan Feng, who was extremely vicious and daring, shudder when he saw Wang Xian? This Wang Xian was even more vicious, cruel and bloodthirsty than Yan Feng. When Yan Feng worked under him, he secretly instructed Yan Feng to rob young girls for him for his pleasure, and then washed them and put them in the pot to cook and eat them. He would eat a young girl every three to five days. Yan Feng helped the tyrant to do evil and was promoted by him. Yan Feng was sweating all over and slowly calmed down. He thought that he used to be his subordinate, but now he is a ninth-rank commander of the court. Why should he be afraid of him? He should test his background first. He said: "I haven't seen Wang Dutou for many years. I wonder where you are now?"

Wang Xian said: "Since we parted in the five cities of Jinzhou, Wang followed General Guo Jindu to Xishan and became a ninth-rank commander for his merits. Later, when the Southern Court (Zhao Guangyi) cleared out the Tianlang Mountain Golden Spear Society, Wang followedThe army listened to the call and made great contributions to the transfer to the commander of the Palace Front Division. Because Wang was smart and capable, he was promoted to the eighth-rank military officer in Xijing. "He looked very proud.

Yan Feng knew that he was uneducated and 90% of what he said was self-boasting. He didn't know which high official he had climbed up to to be promoted continuously. Thinking about how much merit he had made, he was still not as good as Wang Xian, a drunkard. It was really easy to be an official in the court. He was full of emotion; he followed and said: "Congratulations to Wang Canjun on his rapid rise!"

Wang Xian was very proud and said: "Commander Yan's killing of the nine evil young men was earth-shattering. He will be promoted soon! But be careful that happiness will turn into sorrow."

Yan Feng said: "Please give me some advice, Canjun Wang."

Wang Xian said: "Go up the mountain to chop wood, take off your shoes when crossing the river. Every temple has its own gods, it's up to you whether to worship or not. ”

Yan Feng thought: The god he was referring to must be Jia Yan, the most powerful official in Xijing. Jia Yan is a coward who peed his pants when he heard about the Ten Evils. How can such a god be worth worshipping? Wang Xian must have got his current position by clinging to Jia Yan. He is afraid of Jia Yan, so why should he be afraid of him? He said perfunctorily: "Thank you for your advice, General! You look radiant, there must be a secret recipe for your treatment."

Wang Xian laughed and said: "Haha! You really guessed it right. This recipe of mine was prescribed by Master Hui Guang. Master Hui Guang is really a living Buddha. I used his recipe and not only was my spirit radiant, but my martial arts skills also increased dramatically. My martial arts skills were far inferior to yours before, but now - haha! "A palm came at his face, fiercely. Yan Feng was startled and carefully dismantled it. "Pa Pa" the two of them sat and dismantled more than a dozen moves. Yan Feng thought: Wang Xian's martial arts are not boasted, his moves are weird and vicious, now he really needs to look at him with new eyes, if he continues to fight, he is sure to win him, but it is not necessary; he said: "Yan Feng has learned a lot, Wang Canjun is good!"

Wang Xian laughed proudly: "Haha! Have you seen such a unique skill?"

Yan Feng can't say that he is knowledgeable in the martial arts world, but he has a lot of experience, and he has indeed never seen such a fierce and vicious move; he said: "Thanks to Wang Canjun for teaching! Yan Feng has learned a lot."

Wang Xian said: "This teaching cannot be in vain."

Yan Feng said: "Please let the general tell you clearly."

Wang Xian said: "Let him be merciful when he can. Zhang Guofa, the young marshal, has a close relationship with Wang. Please let Commander Yan show some leniency when the time comes. "He took out a thirty-liang gold ingot and gave it to him.

Yan Feng thought: Just because of this, I want to spare Zhang Guofa, it's a foolish dream. Now that the arrow is on the string, how can I not shoot it? He said perfunctorily: "Yan Feng will keep it in mind." He took the gold and put it in his arms without being polite.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries and left.

Yan Feng returned to the residence and thought: Li Weidong, the deputy envoy of the West Palace (Privy Council), is still unreliable. If he is reliable, with his high-ranking and powerful position in the court, it is no problem to reward me with a lucrative job. The gift I gave him is not small, but in the end it is still lip service without substance; Hu Zan is a hall official of the East Palace (Xiangfu, Zhengshitang), but the two princesses of Xiangfu "Shuang'e" Zhao Yuanchun and Zhao Yuanrong hate me to the bone. If I am really in trouble, even if Hu Zan wants to help, will Zhao Yuanchun and Zhao Yuanrong agree! The former lord Yan Hou Zhao Dezhao doesn't knowWhat's wrong with him? He dislikes me anyway, and I can't count on him. I have killed nine of the "Ten Young Marshals" in Xijing. I have poked this hornet's nest. I can't turn back. I might as well make up my mind to investigate Li Shuxue's case. Li Shuxue's father, Li Fu, is a close minister to the emperor. If I solve the case, I can give an explanation to Li Fu, the emperor, and the court and the public. I can use this opportunity to cling to Li Fu and even the emperor. It's a blessing in disguise.

The next day, Yan Feng ordered Yan Guang, Fu Chang, Wang Dang and three or five soldiers to ride fast horses and rush to Suolong Mountain. Soon they came to a high mountain. I saw that the mountain was steep and rose thousands of feet from the ground. The dangerous peaks stood straight into the sky, and the momentum was extraordinary. Yan Feng reined in his mount and exclaimed: What a dangerous mountain! A soldier next to him said: "Commander Yan, this is Suolong Mountain. Walk up the mountain path for an hour and you will reach Changshou Temple on the top of the mountain." Yan Feng and his men dismounted, leaving Wang Dang and other soldiers to guard the horses, and took Yan Guang and Fu Chang up the winding mountain road. There was an endless stream of devout men and women who went up the mountain to worship Buddha and pray for blessings. Yan Feng said to the soldiers as he walked, "Which deity is enshrined in this Changshou Temple that has such a strong incense."

Yan Guang said, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. The commander is knowledgeable and I believe that the abbot of this Changshou Temple, Master Hui Guang, has heard of it a long time ago."

Yan Feng said, "Oh! 'Blue-eyed Golden-haired Galan Town Zhongzhou' is a bit famous in the martial arts world."

Yan Guang said, "More than that-" I feel something is wrong. "Look at this little guy's broken mouth, he really deserves a beating. The commander is a flying Kunpeng who has seen and heard everything. Poor little guy, give me a chance to show off. Master Hui Guang is not only a martial arts expert, but also a living Buddha who saves the suffering. He is a skilled doctor, a doctor who saves the world, and a kind-hearted person. I think the reason why the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is so effective is mostly because of Master Hui Guang. Master's light."

Fu Chang said: "Shut up! You are still talking nonsense in the temple of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, be careful of the punishment from the Bodhisattva!"

Yan Guang said: "Oh! My broken mouth really deserves a beating! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is effective, you see these pilgrims on the road, young and old, want to ask for anything, as long as they chant in front of the Bodhisattva, they can get their wishes. If I have time today, I will ask the Bodhisattva to bless my wife to give me a big fat boy."

Fu Chang said: "You are not sincere, your wife hasn't come yet, so it's useless to pray."

Yan Guang scolded: "Shut your old crow mouth! Wait until my wife holds a big fat boy, and we will come together to fulfill our wish."

Yan Feng wanted to arrest the evil young man Zhang Guofa, so he walked forward quickly, scolding and punching the pedestrians in front of him. The pedestrians who were beaten dodged and made a way out, whispering, "You are so violent and rude under the feet of the Buddha, you will get your retribution sooner or later!" The two soldiers saw Yan Feng disappear into the crowd in front of them, and hurriedly chased after him.
